Ladies, ever feel like you're dating a job you never signed up for? Suddenly you're managing his emotions, his social life, even basic daily logistics… while your own needs get sidelined.

It's sparking real frustration in the US, but does it have global relevance too? On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Yushun

  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Roundtable.

  • You're listening to Roundtable with myself, He Yang.

  • I'm joined by Steve Hatherly and Yu Shun in the studio.

  • Coming up, to the ladies out there,

  • do you ever feel like you're dating with a job description you didn't sign up for?

  • Think of it

  • as being in a relationship and quietly managing someone else's emotional health,

  • friendships, and life logistics, all while your own needs are neglected.

  • And that's apparently called man-keeping in English reporting.

  • We take a look at this uniglo- unacknowledged role women often take on,

  • and it's leading to serious burnout and dating fatigue,

  • and life's best moments from the soundtrack of your heart to little things that make you smile.

  • Join us at Roundtable's happy place.
